EUROSATORY 22: KMW starts in Paris

At the armor fair EUROSATORY 2022, Krauss-Maffei Wegmann (KMW) presents the BOXER tracked vehicle system for the first time. In addition, KMW demonstrates its system house competence with a variety of variants from the wheeled bridge layer to the wheeled howitzer RCH 155, the world's first artillery system that can fight while on the move.

Under the umbrella of the holding company KNDS, KMW and NEXTER emphasize their leadership positions in combat tank systems. With the introduction of the LEOPARD 2 A7, expanded with the world's most advanced active protection system Trophy, KMW underscores its combat tank competence.

The technology demonstrator EMBT demonstrates the capabilities of German-French cooperation.

BOXER tracked

The proven BOXER system taken to the next level. The innovative tracked vehicle module offers increased levels of protection and mobility comparable to heavy tracked vehicles. Since the BOXER tracked conceptually follows the modular system of the BOXER vehicle family, the vehicle module can be combined with all existing BOXER mission modules.

EMBT

The technology demonstrator EMBT showcases the capabilities of successful and consistent German-French cooperation. The experimental chassis of the EMBT is combined with a novel turret concept. In addition to testing already integrated technologies, the EMBT also allows for a 2-, 3-, or 4-person crew. The EMBT is prepared for future integration of ASCALON (140mm) and other turrets.

LEOPARD 2 A7

The key features of the LEOPARD 2 A7 include the Trophy active protection system, which detects and destroys incoming projectiles, a powerful power supply, new ABC and air conditioning systems, as well as the integration of C4 I systems. The modernization of the drive train and further optimization of weapon stabilization when in motion enhance the vehicles' agility and combat capability.

BOXER RCT30

The mission module of the IFV (Infantry Fighting Vehicle) variant features a fully-stabilized, crewless, remote-controlled turret with state-of-the-art optical and optronic viewing devices that allow for 360° all-round observation with target detection and identification at long distances. The airburst-capable fully-stabilized, automatic 30mm machine gun enables precise engagement even while on the move. The turret construction, known from the PUMA, provides a combat space for ten soldiers.

RCH 155

The Remote Controlled Howitzer 155 (RCH 155) is a highly mobile artillery system with the highest level of crew protection. The RCH 155 is the world's first artillery system that can fire while on the move. Evolved from the "Combined Arms Combat," the complete autonomy of the overall system in command, navigation, and fire control, as well as its inherent stability, open up entirely new deployment options (e.g. shooting at moving targets, base protection, etc.). Due to the network-based system architecture of the RCH 155, future autonomous driving and operation (remotely controlled) can also be implemented.

LEGUAN on BOXER

With the bridge module, the BOXER is capable of accommodating and laying LEGUAN elements of varying lengths and weight classes. In a few minutes, a 22-meter bridge (MLC50) or a 14-meter bridge (MLC100) can be laid. This bridge can be retrieved by other LEGUAN bridge systems (e.g. on LEOPARD 2).

BOXER Recovery

Equipped with the recovery module, BOXER vehicles in all variants can be recovered. In addition, the mission modules can be exchanged with the recovery module without the need for additional systems. The recovery module can also be operated without the vehicle module.

MULTIBOX Powerpack/Wheel

Our MULTIBOX solutions make logistics more effective and efficient - no matter where. Thanks to high user orientation, they offer all necessary service solutions right up to the point of use.
In this variant, the integrated sled system ensures that the motor and tires can be made ready for use as quickly and easily as possible. This MULTIBOX variant can be used for all types of large spare parts.
